'Comparable to Tolkien at his best...  A remarkable achievement which will certainly find a place on the small list a true classics.  Donaldson has a vivid and unrestrained imagination... he writes well and wields symbols powerfully.' - Washington Post

'An irresistible epic... imagination, heroism and excitement, made all the more real by Donaldson's deft handling of the rich history of the Land." - Chicago Daily News

'I am singularly impressed ... the writing has a sweep of grandeur, a depth that is seldom seen.' - Clifford D. Simak
